all my life i've been afraid of power, 2023 / white chocolate

 

 

​

All My Life I’ve Been Afraid of Power is an immersive edible installation that dominates the gallery space with columns and architectural fragments which, although appear at first glance as solid pink marble, are made entirely of white  chocolate. It unveils how in architecture and ceremony alike, excessive opulence became a display of political control and a strategical power play. The audience is invited to participate in the destruction of the pieces, playfully seeking to encourage new ways in which we can challenge, reappropriate, and resignify symbols of power found in urban landscapes.
